Lyrics

Intro

Verse

BmDAGD/F# ......Maybe different but remember
DFm7/EFm7/C# (Bm)
...Winters warm where you and I
BmDAGBm7/F# .......Kissing whiskey by the fire
(Bm7/F#)
With the snow outside
When the summer comes the river
Swims at midnight shiver cold
Touch the bottom you and I
With muddy toes

Chorus

EmGDA/C#Em ...Stay or leave, I want you not to go but you should
(Em) GDA/C# ......It was good, as good goes
EmGDA/C#Bm ...Stay or leave, I want you not to go but you did
(start intro riff on "did")
Wake up naked drinking coffee
Making plans to change the world
While the world is changing us
Was good good, love?
You used to laugh under the covers
Maybe not so often now
The way I used to laugh with you
Was loud and hard
Stay or leave, I want you not to go but you should
It was good, as good goes
Stay or leave, I want you not to go but you did
(start bridge chords on "did")

Bridge

E/G#Gadd2 (did)... So what to do
DA/C#E/G#E/B With the rest of today's afternoon, hey...
DA/C#AE/G# Isn't it strange how we change everything we did
Gadd2Bm Did I do all that I should...
(start intro chords on "should")
BmDA ...That I could have done

Refrain

GEmD ...Remember we used to dance... and everyone wanted to be
A/C#Em ...You and me I want to be too
GAE/G#Em What day is this... besides the day you left me
GAE/G# What day is this... besides the day you went
(start bridge chords on "day")
So what to do, with the rest of today's afternoon, hey
Isn't it strange how we change everything we did
Did I do all that I could
Remember we used to dance, and everyone wanted to be
You and me I want to be too
What day is this, besides the day you went, hey
What day is this?
(end on A, let ring)

About

My name is David Potsiadlo, and I created Songnotes to share my collection of guitar tabs, chords, and lyrics for my favorite songs.

Since I started playing guitar over 10 years ago, I've often been frustrated by the preponderance of mediocre and incomplete song tabs littered across the internet. To combat this, I started keeping my own collection of notes for each song I learn -- always taking the extra time to make sure accuracy and completeness are never compromised. Years later, my collection grew to the point where I knew I had to share it online with fellow aspiring musicians.

In December 2012, I began designing & developing a website that became Songnotes. Here, I share my personal collection of hand-crafted music notation with all those online. I hope you enjoy.
